Richmond - The Editor, Re: "Young writers made to feel less alone," News, Oct. 4. This really was a great piece, since it all is true. Young writers nowadays don't have a place to become well known.Like the article said, "There is no 'America's Next Top Writer'. What would they show? A back sitting at a computer?" People just aren't into watching those kinds of things. They either think it's extremely boring, or there really is no point. It doesn't capture the main audience, and doesn't give them that rush they feel in movie theatres, or even at home, watching a regular TV show.I, personally, thought it was a great idea to organize a Junior Authors Writers Conference, to show kids, and parents as well, that writing is truly a great career path. Though it may not be the best occupation choice, moneywise, it is the most rewarding.By holding this conference, kids can express their ideas and thoughts, and share their love of writing with the others around them, and not feel awkward or weird about it, because they know that the children around them are no different from themselves.Thank you for this article. Not only did it inspire many children and youth, it also inspired me too.Teresa YanRichmond
